It’s a hot Friday here in Socal. Mid 80s. Quiet day, getting stuff done. For-pay project work, some lightweight property maintenance, interspersed with watching The Masters. Relaxing.

And of course reading the latest on whatever shittery Mad King Donny has gotten up to this week. The list includes:

• Gutting NOAA and all federal weather services, because reporting on the climate is poison to MAGA
• Donny and his captive pet DoJ saying “thanks, but I’ll just ignore you” to the judge who told them to get the wrongly-deported citizen back to the US.
• Firing the Commander of US forces in Greenland because she had the audacity to speak freely about JD Vance’s moronic trip there
• The Trump administration went full Handmaid’s Tale this week – Donny has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias”. This one really chafes me – separation of church and state is so important, but for MAGA it’s profess as Christian or else. Unreal and scary.
• ICE advertised that they will stop these things from illegally crossing our borders: “people, money, products, ideas”. Ideas? Really? Once again, free speech gets its throat cut on the altar of MAGA.
• My favorite for the week – Donny signed an Executive Order to make sure Americans have enough water pressure for our showers. The things this lunatic spends his time on are astounding. Water pressure, for fuck’s sake.
• And of course the idiotic/destructive tariffs and the obvious insider trading continue. That’s par for the course now.

That’s all just off the top of my head. There’s much more shittery, but why bother?
